Pearls of Wisdom

• Get applications in early.
• Don't schedule your "favorite" programs too late
  because you'll be fatigued.
• Book interviews as soon as you get the invite
• Fly Southwest or sign up for frequent flier
  programs- they're free and worth it
• Always book the cheapest rental car available-
  it's never available when you get there and you
  will get a free upgrade

13
Pearls of Wisdom

• Have alot of questions ready, just remember there
  are stupid questions (ones that could easily be
  answered on the website)
• Go to the night before event if possible
• You're always being evaluated by someone be it
  the PD, chair, resident, or program
  coordinator(who may have more pull than anyone)
• Be positive and energetic.
• Know the strengths and weaknesses of the program
  before you interview

Pearls of Wisdom

• Attend the night before events if you have time
  because it's the best way to get to know the
  residents.
• Go to the night before function and try to gauge
  if you fit with the program. Ultimately, programs
  may be very well known with great reputations,
  but the residents can be VERY "quirky".
